averaging smooths the displayed trace without using a
narrow video bandwidth. The function sets the detector
mode to sample mode and smoothes the trace by
averaging successive traces with each other.

Sets the trigger to video mode. Sweep triggers occur
VIDEO
whenever the input signal passes through the video
trigger level with a slope determined by the TRIG POL
POS NEG function. This trigger level can be changed
using the data keys, the step keys, or the knob. A
dashed line appears on the screen to denote the

the active function block, and ranges from 1 Hz to 3
MHz in a 1, 3, 10 sequence. The value can be changed

is coupled (AUTO) or is in manual mode (MAN). When
the video bandwidth is in manual mode, press VIDEO
BW AUTO MAN until AUTO is underlined to return
the bandwidth to coupled mode. When the video
bandwidth is less than or equal to 100 Hz and the
resolution bandwidth is greater than or equal to 300
Hz, the detector mode automatically changes to sample
mode.
